An e-commerce brand launched in 2023 specializes in health and beauty, focusing on hair growth products. Operating on a dropshipping model through a popular platform, it minimizes overhead and inventory risks while maintaining a diverse product range. The business collaborates with suppliers to fulfill customer orders directly, ensuring streamlined operations using integrated tools for order management. Despite experiencing a setback when their original social media account with 120k followers was stolen, the company purchased a new account with 148.5k followers, adding substantial marketing value.
The brand has achieved a 4% returning customer rate, demonstrating a loyal and expanding customer base in the personal care sector. With optimized email flows for customer engagement, the company prioritizes staying ahead of trends and maintaining a user-friendly shopping experience along with customer support.
Financially, the enterprise benefits from its model, offering scalability and high margins, further enhanced by the social media following. Two post-sale support options are available for prospective buyers: a €100,000 purchase includes three months of assistance featuring strategy calls, video creation, ad setup, and email marketing. The buyer will be introduced to key contacts, including video editors, a customer service manager, and a private supplier. A less expensive option of €85,000 includes one month of similar support. Both options guide new owners during key sales periods like Halloween, Black Friday, and other major holidays to maximize profitability during the year’s most lucrative season.
